1. Need some advice

   NiteQwill replied to Usafrn2015's topic in Government

   Being an officer means being a leader. A freshly minted O-3 is not any more "SEASONED" than a O-2 with 4 years under their belt. Remember, you are a military officer FIRST and a nurse SECOND. And to think that your nursing experience somehow puts y...

4. Has Any Body Taken AANP-2014 FNP Boards?s

   NiteQwill replied to SuccessfullLady's topic in NP Students

   Just took the AANPCP FNP exam this morning and PASSED! What a relief! Studied for about 3-4 weeks ranging from 4-6 hours a day. I had a study partner. We quizzed each other back and fourth on EVERY subject, set goals on what to study that day, and ...

5. Am I a Good Candidate to Work in the ER?

   NiteQwill replied to westieluv's topic in Emergency

   Not being flexible is the worst thing one can have working in an ER. Remember, things will get done, it's just a matter of when and how you prioritize (the person with a CVA/MI is more important than the person screaming in pain because there is a s...

6. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

   NiteQwill replied to mcknis's topic in Activism

   You also have a very different homogenous population than us in the United States. When a small population of people are responsible for a majority of crime, the problem is not guns, it's socioeconomics. Comparisons alike, your country also has a muc...

7. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

   NiteQwill replied to mcknis's topic in Activism

   I have a CCW/CHL and carry where possibly, legally. Although I don't carry at work, if given the opportunity, I would. As an ED nurse and sometimes working in triage, things have often ended in armed police response... 15-20 minutes later. I can't im...

9. To break the contract or not....that is the question

   NiteQwill replied to jaznia15's topic in Career Support

   BS, don't listen to these other posters. Your time with your family is irreplaceable, if you feel you need to break your contract to spend more time with your little one... Do it! All these folks saying you should fulfill your contract have probably ...

    NiteQwill replied to patrick1rn's topic in General Nursing

    From one former Army Combat Medic (a decade) turned Army RN, thank you for your service. I was in the other theater of operations during your time in Afghanistan and I can empathize with your experience. My experience as a medic helped drive me to b...

    To answer your questions :) During the interview, I presented myself as a person who would contribute to patient and team success, strive for patient safety, and provide a continued learning experience for myself and staff. I talked about my experien...

    Graduated August, NCLEX September & passed. Went to the Hoag Hospital's new grad seminar last week and handed my resume to the ED/ER director. Smiled and briefly introduced myself and why I should work in the ED/ER. Over 700 applicants, I thoug...

14. Please help im so confused

    NiteQwill replied to driveinstyle2005's topic in Government

    Are you saying that deployment are "an inconvenience?" I can't read into what you wrote, whether you are being serious or sarcastic. If the former, I would say that it is a disservice to those who serve outside the wire with absolutely NO AMENITIES ...

15. Any runners???

    NiteQwill replied to CardioTrans's topic in Stress 101

    Love running. I have tapered off a bit since I started swimming. Ran a marathon back in 2003, would love to do it again. Triathlon in the near future, hopefully.
